Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
The stunt driving charge includes a 30-day licence suspension and the vehicle is impounded for 14 days.
Driving dangerously fast and endangering the lives of other drivers and then flees from the cops and is still allowed to drive after a month?
There is something seriously wrong here.
It's an automatic suspension and impounding. It will almost certainly be extended and other punishments will be handed down, but those repercussions hit immediately, no questions asked.
Stuff like this should qualify for a lifetime suspension from driving. Extreme disregard to the safety of others.
This should be automatic vehicle seizure and at least a decade-long license suspension.
That nice little BMW you clocked at 230+? It's going to fund the next OPP picnic.
Those are the roadside punishment, before it goes to court.
Stunt driving is a pretty serious crime that can have jail time, this is just what they can do without a trial.
The 30-day suspension is at roadside. There's a court hearing which can hand down a longer one on conviction.
Freedom Unit conversion:
Speed Limit on Highway 174: 62.14 mi/h
Car Speed: 145.4 mi/h
That by itself means nothing to me.
What made me realize. How fast that is, is that itβs halfway to the top speed of a veyron SS
Silly @[email protected]
They forgot that US highway speed units are measured as a ratio of a veyron SS's top speed. For those that don't know, that's 7.37 billion bald eagle wingspans per presidential term.
What's that in football fields per commercial break (brought to you by Carl's Jr(tm))?
1 VSSTS = 39.28 FF/CB
c'mon, every god fearin'merican knows that! They teach that in gunday school.
The best part of this reply
They teach that in gunday school.
That looks like an M5, it can definitely go at 300kmh, about 75% the speed of a Veyron
When translated to American, it's honestly not that impressive anymore. π€·
